Abstract
A system and method for management of bandwidth shared by a plurality of video content encoders is provided. A management service coordinates an unequal allocation of available bandwidth among a set of encoding nodes. A management service can receive measured bandwidth attributes from a plurality of encoding nodes to determine a total available bandwidth. The management service can receive measured bandwidth attributes from a plurality of encoding nodes that is transmitted to the management service in accordance with an IoT based messaging protocol. The management service can then allocate the available bandwidth based on different criteria. The management service can then transmit the allocated bandwidth to the encoding nodes using the IoT based messaging protocol.
